Nature Playscape Now Open!

What is a nature playscape?

A nature playscape utilizes the earth's elements and natural building materials to influence unstructured play in a secure and untraditional environment. These playgrounds are proven to encourage social interaction, connect children with nature, evoke creativity and problem solving, encourage independence, teach risk tasking, and force imaginative play.

The unique designs for Summit Park's playscape will leverage materials such as water, grass, sand, mud, sticks, and timber. Children will be able to play in forts, explore an underground hobbit hole, race down child-sized zip lines, and engage in shallow water play. Additional elements will include a net canyon, log jam, waterfall, and swings!
